3-Way Valve Actuator Motor Saunier Duval Isofast C 28 E Ref. S5720600
The actuator motor for the 3-way valve Saunier Duval Isofast C 28 E, with reference S5720600, is a key component that regulates the flow of water between the heating circuit and the domestic hot water circuit. Its function is to move the valve to ensure that hot water is directed correctly, either to the radiators or to the tap. When it fails, you will notice that hot water comes out of the tap but the radiators do not heat up, or vice versa, causing an inadequate mixing of both circuits. This motor is compatible with models from the ThemaClassic, Themafast, Isofast, Isomax, Isotwin, and Combitek ranges, among others. It is recommended to replace it upon detecting these water distribution issues.

How to check if ref. S5720600 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference S5720600. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the S5720600 three-way valve resolves.
The 3-way valve diverts water between heating and domestic hot water. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
You have domestic hot water but the radiators are not heating, or vice versa.
Cause: The motor does not complete the rotation to position the valve in the correct circuit, so it gets stuck halfway between the two modes.
Listen to see if the motor goes through its start-up cycle (a short hum) when requesting domestic hot water or heating; if nothing moves, focus on the motor before considering other causes.
- 02
A buzzing or strange noise is heard in the area of the valve right when the boiler starts up.
Cause: The internal gears of the motor wear out or lose lubrication and make noise when forced to turn without completing it.
With the boiler off and cold, see if you can gently turn the valve shaft by hand; if it's seized, the motor has to exert extra effort, which explains the noise.
- 03
The boiler takes several extra seconds to switch from heating to domestic hot water when you turn on the tap.
Cause: The motor switches more slowly than usual because the internal gear is worn, although it still manages to complete the cycle.
Time how long it takes to deliver hot water a couple of times in a row; if the delay is always the same and doesn't improve, motor wear is the most likely explanation.
- 04
The heating and domestic hot water seem to be mixing, with warm radiators when they should be cold.
Cause: If the motor does not reach the exact position, the valve remains halfway and allows some flow to pass to both circuits simultaneously.
First, rule out a zone valve or a misconfigured thermostat, as they can cause similar symptoms without the three-way valve being involved.
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
